Obama Stretches to Trust Hillary
By Don | August 26, 2008
The drama continues to build as Hillary Clinton stands her ground at the Democratic National Convention, putting Obama on the spot.
From ABC News' Jake Tapper.
We took a look at the issues Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, is having with Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, and her die-hard supporters on World News with Charles Gibson HERE and on Nightline HERE.
For the record, in Iowa yesterday I asked Sen. Obama if all of this, well, stuff -- the Clinton supporters descending on Denver to bash him, former President Bill Clinton continually praising Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., the fact that Hillary's brother Tony Rodham last week met with officials of the McCain campaign -- made him doubt the sincerity of Sen. Clinton's endorsement.
(This was before her curious comments in which she was, again, pushing her oft-used but specious argument that she won more popular votes than did Obama. "Eighteen million people voted for me," she said. "18 million people give or take voted for Barack.")
Give or take. Nice.
"You know it doesn’t" make him doubt her sincerity, Obama said. "She could not have been more clear today, she could not have been more clear during the course of the last several months when she’s been campaigning. President Clinton could not be more clear about his strong support for my candidacy."
If Obama really thinks that Hillary is sincere in her support for Obama then he is living in a fantasy world.
